Would not recommend shared hosting for symfony apps unless they can fulfill all the requirements for PHP and web server config that symfony apps need. > Pls give a few lines of help at least.

And that last line says you have no idea how this all fits together. Well, start with the basics: in order to resolve a domain name you need what? Ill give you a clue: its an acronym and it starts with a D. Whats that you say? DNS? Well done. So first step is to set your DNS to resolve to your web server IP. That depends on your domain registrar and whoever does DNS for your domain, so I can't describe steps for that. Ask your web hoster or domain registrar. Assuming DNS works and points to your web server, the web server needs to recognize that domain as a site. So presumably you have a control panel somewhere that allows you to add a vhost. The vhost has to have the subdomain you set up in DNS. When you setup a vhost, it usually configures a specific folder to be the public folder, that's where you'll need to deploy the contents of the web folder of your app. The rest of the symfony folders should normally be outside the public web folder. The .htaccess file is used to redirect all web requests to the front controller, normally index.php. You normally dont need to mess with it. The php.ini is also something you wouldn't normally mess with, and with shared hosting you probably wont be able to mess with it. The ProjectConfiguration.class.php is a global config file for the application, nothing to do with vhosts or DNS. Really, if you spent some time reading carefully through the excellent symfony docs, you will gain a better understanding of all this.
